What it’s like
The place. Mc Ewen is a small city in Humphreys County where most homes are lived in by their owners, and households earn about what the county's households do. Poverty is a little lower than in many small towns, and few adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are cold but not severe, with January the coldest month and highs and lows staying around or below freezing at night, while August brings the warmest, hottest days of the year.
Work. Residents work mainly in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, and in government. Across Humphreys County, some of the largest workplaces are The Chemours Company's Johnsonville plant, Humphreys County Schools and Hood Container in New Johnsonville. The typical commute is long, and very few people work from home, so most jobs mean traveling to a workplace.
Things to do. White Oak Creek is a river only a short drive away. Farther afield, Fort Donelson National Battlefield is an archaeological site and a longer drive, and Nathan Bedford Forrest State Park is a protected area, also a longer drive.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Mc Ewen’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively high. It is meant for planning, not a substitute for a local risk assessment or a flood map: FEMA’s index.
From the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 census and its American Community Survey (2020–2024 five-year estimates), and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A survey, so each figure has a margin of error, and figures it is not sure of are left out. More on Humphreys County.
